Great beach access
This condo worked ok for our family, the best thing about it is the walkable access to the beach...it only took us about 10 minutes with 2 small kiddos but you do go down many flights of steep stairs so you cannot pull a wagon or bring much down with you other than what you can carry on your back. The beach is absolutely beautiful, hardly any people, very clean, we had so much fun. The condo it's self needs some love, the upstairs carpet is so gross - very badly stained it kind of gives ya the yucks. The furniture is tired and some is broken. The kitchen is stocked very minimally compared to what I have seen in past rentals and the supplies are old (pans are very badly scratched, no veggie peeler, blender didn't work, coffee pot carafe doesn't fit well so it leaks). Be cautious when using the dryer it ruined 2 pieces of our clothing bc the lint trap doesn't fit and catches onto strings and straps and breaks them, such a bummer! The hot tub guy came on a Wednesday and left the water on overflowing the patio and it made the hot tub cold which was kind of a bummer bc we loved using it during the chilly mornings. The size and layout of the condo worked great for our family. We would definitely recommend this place just be leerily of what i mentioned in case those things matter to you. Hopefully the owners will update the carpet, do some paint touch up and refresh the kitchen supplies.

Great Beach Condo
Nice place. Clean, bright, and close to beach. The entry code they gave us did not work on the front door. Called Vacasa and they gave me a lockbox code to a physical key. The physical key did not work either. Luckily the entry code worked on the garage door. Had to use it to get in and out the whole time.
If they replace the front door lock with one that worked it would be a great place to stay.
Nice, clean, great location.

Way Overpriced Cheap Property w Bad Mgmt
First, never-ever rent a Vacasa-managed property.
Second, don't waste your time or money on this one - it's one frustration after another and you get the privilege (for $850/night) of talking to a Vacasa rep in INDIA.
Pictures make it look light, airy & spacious - big stretch.
Sleeps 8 - so you'd think they'd have more than 4 Dollar-store forks in the kitchen? Or maybe 8 decent coffee mugs? Or perhaps a full set of glassware?...matching is clearly too much to ask. Oh, expect no more than salt & pepper in the cabinets.
Cleanliness - it was ok on the surface, except a) sand in the hot tub (it's only cleaned 1x/week, so too bad if you check in and get the last guest's mess), and then there was a weird smell upstairs. Took a few days, but finally traced it to the thick ring of black mildew on the inside of the front-loader washer.
Linens-wise - expect the striped-down bare minimum. Not a single extra blanket, not a throw-blanket on the couch. No extra pillows.
No extras (chairs, etc.) for the beach.
And then there's the internet - infuriating. Turns out they have rigged 4 units together to share one connection - CHEAP - so there's not enough band-width to run TVs without glitching every 5 min (don't plan on working). And it cuts out periodically, then permanently and needs to be reset by the property manager. Vacasa's brilliant answer on the phone had the guests digging up the modems and cables and trouble-shooting the system. SERIOUSLY?
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Great location, solid place, very good stay
Location for us (family of 4 w/adult children) was awesome. Easy walk down to quieter beach, quiet at night for sleeping, no through traffic, access to the beach path, etc. Loved the location a lot.
Place has nice space spread out through 3 floors and nice, useable outdoor space. Hot tub was big and there was a table out there to eat outside and lounge space around the fire pit.
While there our propane tank died and the door/lock to the garage broke so you couldn’t go in/out of garage. The management folks were reasonably responsive and got the fire pit working / extra propane in so no issues there.
Only feedback is that the place could use a refresh as some elements are feeling a bit worn. Carpets in the master, broken screen door leading outside, and just some overall wear and tear. Kitchen supplies were a bit lighter than usual but had enough. Also would love more comfortable chairs in the dining area but that may just be our preference.
Net-net it was a very good stay and I’d return/recommend. I value quiet and location highly and not overly fussed with the opportunity areas

Lack of Responsiveness
Master shower would not drain and could not be used. Notified manager. Sent guy unannounced with Draino but no effect. Said if it didnt work they would get a plumber. Never heard from them again and had only the one shower that functioned the entire time. Numerous other small issues that were frustrating like TV downstairs has large dark spot, making it unusable for movies or video games. Downstairs chair only has 3 legs. Hot tub was full of sand the day we arrived. Outdoor tables were dirty and I sent photos to manager. No response to that.

We needed a place where our family could stay. We chose this condo for its close proximity to the beach and because we had a 5 month old and the condo allowed us to keep him on his sleep schedule and let the adults enjoy time away

A great space in an amazing neighborhood
the 2-car garage is very helpful. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen is a great design. Could use a few more cooking items. The Patio is amazing. Hot tub was very nice to have. Proximity to Califia Beach is walkable, although the more premiere Family style beach is over at San Clemente, which is a short 7-minute drive away. Great freeway access. WiFi wasn't as strong as one might hope for, and it's needed since Cell coverage is a big spotty. Neighbors were nice, and the neighborhood is amazing.
